The Cabin (01)

The Cabin!

When Ash, Brock and Misty go into Prof. Oak's lodge for the Christmas Break, they leave the Pokémon in charge of the cabin. Things start going wrong when the Pokémon have their fun. It's up to them to save the Christmas spirit in the house!

Meh, I thought this short was pretty boring. A lot of silent quiet scenes. Doesn't matter though, it only cost me $2 for the video. The opening was trash and what surprised me was that they had the japanese opening at the end of the video.

Remember the shot of the champaign cork falling towards Pikachu? It looked like the landing pod from Apollo 13(I don't know what they're called). Notice too how all of the Japanese score is kept in. The JP opening was a version of 'Natsuyasumi Fan Club'. I found my copy of 'Pikachu's Winter Vacation' at Wal-Mart circa '99. So you should look for it on ebay.

Awesome 8/10! The bit with the music box... where have I heard that before? Diddly-dum-dum-dum diddly-dum-dum-dum diddly-dum-dum-dee-dee-dee... ROUTE 1 CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I love remixed Kanto/Johto music!

Well this was another nice little Christmas episode. I recall seeing this one once in Japanese, and there were tons of memorable moments. First off, I noticed that the cabin in this special episode was near the coast. That right there was a bit odd. How often do people spend the holidays by the sea like that? Anyway, having the Pokemon stay at the cabin alone wasn't the best idea. While I liked some of the funny scenes like when Psyduck was messing around with the party hats, I didn't like that scene where the Christmas tree fell over. Pikachu just got mad and the lights all went out, making things a bit depressing. Luckily, it looked like the Pokemon were able to fix the tree before Ash and his friends returned. A decent special episode, 7/10.
